NOOB HERE NEED HELP I cant make my coolers work

[T33POH]

newbie here, im just wondering why my freezer wont work, even with 5 coolers working in just 151 square room.
blue side is inside, completly roofed, red part of the cooler is outdoors, and all of it is powered.

151 squares is kind of a big room TBH, you probabky only need a 5x5 room, for 25 tiles to be honest. And, is the room "inside,", outside, or "outdoors"? Also, the blue should be inside, not outside.

Probably need a picture, but here are a couple guesses:

-Installed backwards - make sure blue arrow is towards cooled area.

-Not enough exhaust room - coolers need plenty of space leading outside behind them to send exhausted heat (coolers don't make cool air - they extract hot air and get rid of it!)

-Not completely roofed - no roof, no cool!

-Not all powered - no electricity, no workie!

Most likely one of those, but again, need pics to really see.

with a freezer that big my money is on a roof issue or that the coolers cant dumb heat but we need a picture to really help.

how do you post pictures?

Without Steam version easiest method is to use imgur to host screenshots. And then post a link.

May be the target temperature is too high lower it and see how it does

its set to -59C already
oh yeah and theres also a heatwave 55C outside

single wall, too many doors that people are using just to pass trough venting cool air everytime and not built under the mountain for ultimate roof insulation

try doubling the walls and replacing all those unnecesary doors getting a diffferent exit to your base instead of going trough your freezer

heat waves will make it hard on your freezers no matter what, they work like actual freezers, venting warm air out drawing cold air in, at 55C they cant really be effective at 70c they kinda stop working entirely

At least your town looks awesome, that'll be a comfort to people while they die of food poisoning :S

Heatwave & freezer with entrance from outside & no airlocks = spoiled food.

-It's best to build freezers with one entrance only, and make it airlocked.
-Double walls would certainly help.

is it better to start double walling inside or outside?

first outside
you should try to keep the inside under 30C anyway so protecting from the 50C outside should be priority
as is now your freezer is probably keeping your base at a livable temperature

Agreed!
